It was a relatively quiet month but it began one day on campus when I ran into Annie Sullivan-Crowley and her friend and her mother and later that day, Val Smith, Tara Kinsey and i were the three deans visiting Diana Fuss' class.

The next week I had a lunch with Brad Carrow (Chemistry), Barry Rand (Electrical Engineering), Craig Arnold (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Ruben Gallo (Spanish and Portugese), Will Dobbie (Economics and Woodrow wilson School) and Dan Garber (Philosophy).

and then one with Liz Gavis (Molecular Biology), Matthew Karp (History), Bridgett vonHoldt (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology), Janet Vertesi (Sociology), Quentin Skinner (University Center for Human Values), Waseem Bakr (Physics) and Alejandro Rodriguez (Electical Engineering).
